Steel - Plate

Emission intensity of steel - Plate. A flat steel sheet rolled on a hot rolling mill. It can be found on the market in sheets and is further processed into finished products by the manufacturers. Heavy plate is used in a large number of sectors: structural steels shipbuilding pipes pressure vessels boilers heavy metal structures offshore structures etc. Typical thickness between 2 to 20 mm. The maximum width is 1860 mm. System expansion was used on the steel e.g. for blast furnace slag and other co-products. The influence of system expansion to the GWP for steel products is 3 to 7% lower GWP. Contact Worldsteel for more information. At an EOL recovery rate of 85%. Module D impact of -1.16 kg CO2e per kg ('-' magnitude is a benefit '+' magnitude a burden). This gives a net life cycle inc Mod D of 1.3 kg CO2e per kg. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.
